Homemade Tortilla Chips
- 50 grams White flour
- 150 grams Corn grits or polenta meal (cornmeal)
- 100 ml Boiling hot water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Avocado
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Rock salt
- 2 tsp Jalapeno pepper (or green chile peppers)
- 1/2 Lime
- 2 tbsp Creme fraiche, yoghurt, or sour cream
- 1 Store-bought salsa for tacos (or tomato chili sauce)
- 1 enough to deep-fry the chips Olive oil or vegetable oil
- Combine the corn grits, flour, and olive oil in a bowl.
- Add the hot water and mix well.
- Cover with a tightly wrung moistened paper towel and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Chop the avocado into fine pieces, and mix together with the crushed garlic, finely chopped jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, and creme fraiche.
- Chill in the refrigerator.
- Roll the tortilla mix from Step 1 into 3 to 4 cm diameter balls, and press them flat.
- You don't need a rolling pin for this.
- You can also sandwich the balls between sheets of parchment paper and press them flat over the paper.
- Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, and fry the tortilla chips over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
- If you're frying up store-bought corn tortillas, they cook up in just a minute.
- Drain the oil on paper towels.
- Add salt to taste.
- Serve with the avocado dip from Step 2 and tomato chili sauce.
- You can mix the dips or serve them separately, whichever you prefer.
- Place the tortilla mix on piece of parchment paper, and place another sheet of paper on top.
- Roll over the paper with a rolling pin to flatten the chips.
- If you cut them out using a ring or a cup, the chips will be neatly rounded.
- You can also make your own salsa with tomatoes, chili, and salt.
- I also recommend making nachos with any leftover tortilla chips.
- Top with.
- Serve them with guacamole, tomatoes, and cheese!
